New YORK, October 2lst-An Antwerp
special to the Telegram says The Norwe-
gian bark Bravo, just arrived from Charles
ton, reports that on the Goth of September
she picked up Captain Cunha, his wife, two
sailors and sixteen passengers of the Amer
lean schooner Carrie w. Clark. The bark
was bound from Fayal to Boston. She had
encountered hurricane on September 18th,
and after terrific laboring, caused by the
tremendous seas, gust of wind struck the
vessel, and the mainmast went by the
board.
The remarkable part of the story brought
by the Bravo is that while the Captain
thought best to desert the schooner, the
crew and passengers, to the number of
thirty-six, remained aboard, refusing to
leave her, depending on what was left of
the mainmast to rig sail and bring the
vessel safely into port.

TO those who locate their homes in the
section here more specially referred to,
there will be found excellent educational
advantages. In fact, there is no State in
the Union that has more literally pro-
vided for the proper education of the ris-
ing generation than California. Her
schools are amply furnished, the teachers
we'll paid, school library provided at pub
lie expense, and every attention given 70
maintaining the most proficient system of
mental training Of the youth that legisla-

Orland has a fine Normal boarding college
for young ladies and gentlemen, which
ranks among the best on the coast, and
which has an attendance of nearly one
hundred at the present time.
The town also enjoys good advantages as
to churches. 1t has three neat structures
for religious worship which are well sus-
.ained.
1t has not been the purpose in this brief
article to more than call attention to some
of the inducements that this vicinity
seems to offer. The home-seeker should

Henry Georges paper, The STAND.
ARD, says: .sThere is rumor in artis.
tic circles that the French painter Meis-
sonier is about to paint second copy
of his picture .'1807," for which the late
A. T. Stewart paid an enormous sum Of
money; aud it is said by dealers that
the painting of this duplicate will rem.
der the original comparatively value
less. 1t seems, therefore, that the value of
a Meissonier depends rather upon scare
ity than upon intrinsic merit. There is a
certain similarity in this respect between
paintings and land values. This SINH.
larity cannot be disputed: but it is a sur
prise to us to find Henry George compar-
ing land values with the values of the
products of labor. That sort of thing does
not seem to agree with the doctrines
Of Georgeism.
